    text
    copied!<p>(Keep in mind this is on OSX Snow Leopard)</p> <p>I don't know how to describe this bizarre issue very well or even if this is the right place to do so, but out of nowhere Firefox locked me out of a login session on a dev site on my localhost. I was saving some data and I was redirected to the login page. I tried to login and it failed...and failed...and failed some more. </p> <p>I checked the login PHP script and it reports a match for the username and password, but for some reason I can't actually <em>log in</em>. I feel as though the session is being automatically deleted right after it gets created. I tried restarting the browser, then my computer. Nothing. I downgraded back to Firefox 12, no cigar. I tried clearing my cache and cookies, same thing.</p> <p>I attempted to login with Safari and it was <em>successful</em>! Same with Chrome. So the problem is clearly Firefox. Could it be that my Firefox installation was corrupted and that simply installing <em>over</em> it with an older version won't do anything? That I'll have to completely remove it and then install it? I am seriously at my wit's end here.</p> <hr> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>After creating a new Firefox profile in Firefox 12 I was able to login (but only with the <em>new</em> profile). I then re-updated to Firefox 13 and was also able to successfully login (again, only with the <em>new</em> profile).</p> <p>It then occurred to me that there must be something wrong with the <em>domain</em> (within the Firefox profile data I'm assuming). I created a domain <strong>alias</strong> and used <em>that</em> to login using the corrupted profile and it worked! So, I've narrowed it down to the domain and the profile. Maybe that will help.</p>
